    Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms in Air Fryer Recipe

    My friend Kari made this air fryer recipe using her Cosori 5.8L, which you can get on Amazon. I, however, recommend investing in a combo kitchen gadget like a Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot if you do a lot of slow cooking, pressure cooking or air frying! 

    During a Christmas sale in 2020, I upgraded to the newer Ninja Foodi Pro, which does EVERYTHING you could possibly think of - including making air fryer recipes like this delicious appetizer!

    I have made everything from super basic sweet potato fries, to super cheesey stuffed mushrooms in air fryer in the past.

    I have even made bacon wrapped stuffed mushrooms in an air fryer before!

    Top Tips For Stuffed Mushrooms

    Before you begin chopping up the mushrooms, it is best to clean mushrooms by wiping them gently with a paper towel. You do not want to actually wash them with water because it adds too much moisture to the mushrooms. 

    Directions for making this Air Fryer Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms Recipe: 

    Remove the stems from the mushrooms and mince them up finely. Use a spoon to scrap any additional mushroom out of the inside of the mushroom cap and dice that up as well. 

    Mushrooms on a cutting board with the stems removed

    Add together the cut up mushrooms pieces, butter, diced onion and minced garlic to a skillet and heat on medium high until onions are tender, about 5 minutes.

    Add your sausage and cook for an additional 1 minute and then remove the pan from heat. 

    bread crumbs

    Add in the bread crumbs, ½ cup of Mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese and mix it all together really well.

    Season the mixture with salt and pepper and then spoon a bit of the mixture into each mushroom cap. The amount of the mixture will vary depending on the size of your mushrooms.

    Preheat your air fryer for five minutes at 320 degrees F. Place the sausage stuffed mushrooms, filled side up, into the air fryer basket.

    How to Store Leftover Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

    Store any leftover Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This recipe does not stand up well to freezing, but they are good for up to 3 days in the fridge.

    FAQ About Air Fried Stuffed Mushrooms

    How do you get moisture out of mushrooms before stuffing?

    While this is not necessary, you can prebake the mushroom caps (cavity side down) for a few minutes to help them release extra liquid, and you can do this ahead of time to cut down on prep time the day of your gathering.

    How to reheat stuffed mushrooms in air fryer?

    To reheat any leftovers, place them in the air fryer at 400°F for 4-5 minutes.

    Variations for Air Fried Stuffed Mushrooms

    There are plenty of ways to switch it up with our Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms in Air Fryer!

    • Spicy - add a dash of red chili pepper flakes while cooking to add a little heat
    • Spicy Sausage - instead of using regular sausage, try using HOT sausage to make these spicy!
    • Cheddar cheese - you can switch out the mozzarella cheese for cheddar cheese
    • Crab stuffed mushrooms in air fryer - if you don't like sausage, you can easily replace the sausage with crab meat or imitation crab
